About This Game

About This Game

The year is 1936. The champagne is flowing, the jazz is playing, and every passenger aboard has been handed the name of someone to kill.

Somebody has been handed yours.

Deadly Voyage is a multiplayer murder party aboard luxury ocean liners. Blend in with the crowd, stalk your target through ballrooms and sun decks, and strike when nobody's looking. And watch your back.

Hunt or Be Hunted

Every round, you're given a target. You don't get a face, only a name and a rough idea of which room they were last seen in. Someone else has been given yours, and they won't introduce themselves.

Kill your target and get paid. Kill your hunter and walk away clean. Kill some poor stranger by mistake, and it'll cost you.

Murder, Improvised

There's no armoury on a luxury liner, so make do. A fire axe. A carving knife. An ice pick, a coal shovel, a bronze statuette. Or the classic: a champagne bottle to the back of the head.

The more a weapon gets used, the less it pays. Rare methods earn big, so get creative. Hurl an axe across the room. Rig a wallet with explosives, drop it where your target will find it, and blow it up in their hands. And if you're lucky, you might even find a gun.

Or simply wait until they're dancing under the chandelier, and let go of the winch.

Mind the Guards

Security doesn't care who you're after, only that you're doing it in public. Guards and cameras watch the halls. Get caught with a weapon out, or worse, using it, and you'll be cooling off in the brig while everyone else carries on.

The best murders have no witnesses.

Bank It or Lose It

Every kill pays in cash, but it isn't yours until it's in the ship's bank.

Your wounds follow you from round to round too, so even a fight you win can leave you limping. Find a first-aid kit, patch yourself up, and get back to it.

Whoever docks with the fattest bank account wins.

All Aboard the Meridian

Your first voyage is aboard the Meridian: five decks of polished walnut, marble and brass, from the swimming pool and sauna below to the lifeboats and funnels up top. Take the grand staircase, ride the lifts, get lost in the corridors.

More liners are on the way.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Players hunt and kill each other with improvised melee weapons (bottles, spanners), guns, explosives and traps. Deaths are shown without blood or gore, in a light-hearted, darkly comic tone. Alcohol appears as props and weapons only.
